ABOUT PETER GILLAN

I am an experienced chartered town planner with a proven track record of delivering major urban and infrastructure projects and commissions on time and on budget. I graduated from Newcastle University with first class honours in Town and Country Planning and was awarded a prize by the Royal Town Planning Institute for my studies. Since then, I have led on securing consents for many high-profile transport infrastructure projects across the UK, including new railway stations, bus stations, multi-storey car parks and other major transport infrastructure. I also have considerable experience in securing planning consents for residential, commercial and renewable energy schemes.I was a highly commended finalist for the RTPI North East Young Planner of the Year Award 2021 and ‘Rising Star’ award at the Newcastle University Alumni Achievement Awards 2021, as well as being included in the 51-person list of the transport sector’s ‘rising stars’ as published in Passenger Transport magazine. I have on many occasions been invited as a guest speaker at Newcastle University to discuss planning in practice with third-year planning undergraduates. I have experience working in both the local authority and private sectors and have a sound understanding of the planning process.I am a chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute and Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation. I have a Diploma in Leadership and Management.
